‘Supergirl’ Season 2 Confirms Reduced Role for Calista Flockhart

Supergirl may have flown in a Superman for Season 2, but will still lose its next-most super-star in the transition to Vancouver. As expected, Calista Flockhart will have a reduced role as Cat Grant, appearing only in a guest star capacity.

The CW and Warner Bros. confirm that while Flockhart has finalized her return for Season 2, Cat Grant won’t appear among the cast in a series regular capacity, instead as a recurring guest star. Season 2's cost-cutting move to Vancouver had made it somewhat unlikely Flockhart would relocate, given her career status and full-time Los Angeles residence with husband Harrison Ford.

Supergirl wouldn’t be Supergirl without the amazing Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant. We are so excited Calista has agreed to continue on the show when she can. We and the audience love to see her on screen.
